Last night i had enough and disabled Apple's f*cked implementation of Samba all together. And to top it off windows had nothing but problems reading, accessing and writing to shares. At first i found out that i had to turn SMB sharing off and on after every reboot. I had numerous problems trying to get filesharing to work reliably. I'd even say it is the single worst 'feature' in Lion. Pluses and minuses here are reversed.Īpple's version of 'SMB' is beyond buggy. You can also do like Noam AA told: after system reboot go to Sharing to disable File Sharing and then enable it back. samba configuration is performed in text editors (though it is pretty simple). + works flawlessly with Windows, Dune HD Players and so on You can solve this after reading Post #9, Post #11, Post #12. Still there is a problem with automatic launch of the samba service.

It is probably better to turn off Apple's File Sharing and install samba3, like C.44 described in Post #5. Please, can you tell if there is some guess or solution to this:ġ) What is the source of the problem? Nothing of this happened earlier - in Leopard or Snow LeopardĢ) Maybe I need to reinstall Samba instead of a new version built-in Lion?ģ) Maybe I can somehow make a script to run on boot?Ĥ) And maybe I can somehow turn off authentication in Windows? I've searched a lot of forums, but no one has a solution. I know that I'm not the only one who encountered this problem. This problem drives me mad, that is absolutely uncomfortable.

But without 'remebered' workgroup Windows just asks for credentials, and though username and password on Mac and Windows matches, it doesn't let me in. When Lion finally sets the Workgroup, I can easily access my folders from Windows 7. Then after one minute you open the dialog again, and your entered data is here. Here's what it looks like: you set the settings, press Apply, but after opening the dialog, the fields are empty. But even after entering NetBIOS name and Workgroup and pressing Apply, it doesn't remember it! I open the dialog again, and the fields are empty again.īut after some time, about a minute it may 'remember' the settings. And if it just forgot, it would be more or less fine. It worked fine, everything was great.īut now Lion just 'forgets' WORKGROUP settings in System Preferences->Network->Advanced->WINS. I used to map my Mac OS's home folder in Windows 7. There is a very naughty problem with Lion, it didn't happen in Leopard or Snow Leopard.
